Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ended their campaign with a 110 -run win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on 25 May.

talking points
1. Henrich Klassen's 37-Gend Ton Lights Up Kotla
Heinrich Klassen played like a person after being promoted to number 3 in batting. He gave the KKR bowlers to all corners of Arun Jaitley Stadium by the third fastest in IPL history-the third fastest in IPL history. South African wicketkeeper-Bater hit seven fours and nine sixes during an unbeaten knock of 105 runs from 39 delivery. His 83 -run partnership with Travis Head and Ishaan Kishan blew KKR with 35 and 36 balls respectively.
2. Travis Head plays a blinder
Travis Head started a tornado to Sunrisers, when Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bat first. The left -handed batsman made a 92 -run stand, which came away from just 41 balls with Abhishek Sharma for the first wicket. The head hit six fours and several sixes and looked good for his second IPL century. However, Sunil Narin sent him packing for 40 balls for 40 balls in the 13th over.
3. Jaydev Unadkat, Harsh Dubey, Ashan Malinga shines with the ball
It is very easy to bowl when the batsmen set a target of 279 runs for victory. However, the discipline shown by SRH Troika of Unadkat, Dubey and Malinga should be given credit. Unadkat took the wickets of Narin and Ajinkya Rahane inside the powerplay before returning to the backnd to dismiss the top scorer of KKR at night.
On the other hand, Dubey made some purchases of the track and took the wickets of Rinku Singh and Andre Russell from continuous delivery. After Ramandip Singh was a hit for a back-to-back six, the left-handed spinner rejected him with peach. Meanwhile, Malinga dismissed Quinton de Koke, Angkarish Raghuvanshi and Harshit Rana.
who said what?
Ajinkya Rahane, KKR (losing captain)
I felt that they had really batted well, yes, we made some errors while bowling, but the way they batted, they captured all the loose balls and also hit all the good balls. Credit SRH goes to the batsmen, his intention was really very good. We discussed the bowling of slow balls, bowled widely, as well as bowled widely slow balls, but sometimes if the bowlers do not actually execute the plan well, then Klassen and all SRH batsmen such as batsmen like batsmen … they really batted well. We were low on our execution part, but also made a lot of errors in the innings as a bowling unit. Throughout the season, we had our moments, we had our own opportunities, 2-3 close games that we thought we did not play well as a team as a unit. In addition, we tried our best, we gave our best. Such a format, you had to switch every time. This format is really difficult, this IPL is really difficult. As a team, we had those opportunities, we had those moments, we were probably at number one or two in the table. But, no regrets, much to learn from this season. All the players tried their best, gave their best. We will be really strong next year.
Pat Cummins, SRH (winning captain)
Amazing finish. The last few games of the season, a lot of things clicked and it was scary to see that kind of batting. With the caliber of the players we have, we cannot play worse than what we used to do earlier. We should make finals, we should not do this year. We get wickets like here, we get 250-260 more people to get out Max, where we need to graft and reach 170 which we did not do. A lot of people got opportunities, we saw each of them while choosing a team, but could not fit them. In fact, we are happy with the squad we have got, some players came back home, we used 20 players.
Henrich Klassen, match players
The franchise spends a lot of money on this. We had a bad start and beach, we fought to turn it in the last three matches. It was nice to give them something back. There was also personal pride. I did not go to some sports, did it tonight. There was a plan to go directly to this ground. I got my projection better, not taken on many fielders. Pleased with him. I worked a lot to judge the length, it is excluding me one or two times, so I had to do a lot of work in the nets on it. After the powerplay, when I go ideally, but whenever I go, I am paid to do well.
